July 08, 2014

Benjamin Hernandez, the teen seriously injured in a sinkhole accident on a rural Kane County road, is recovering at his home in Elgin, and a fund has been set up to help him. The 15-year-old suffered a broken jaw and a broken rib, and lost some teeth July 1 after a car driven by his mother plunged into a gaping sinkhole. "All they said is that it's going to take time" to recover, his mother said.
